Synopsis

There is a skit festival at a women’s college. A lecturer named Jeon asks his uncle to direct a skit in his medical department. Jeon paints in the Suyu stream in front of the school every day. The goal is to obtain patterns for one’s own work. His uncle is an actor and director who has been unable to work for several years due to being blacklisted. He took up directing because he remembered directing a skit as a first-year student at this women’s college 40 years ago. A scandalous incident occurs among the students performing a skit, and the former student and uncle become involved in the incident. In the meantime, the uncle becomes closer to the female professor in the textile department. Every night, the moon in the sky grows bigger and bigger, and his uncle paints by the Suyu stream every morning.
